#WhenTaken #48 (15.04.2024) I scored 806/1000 🎉 1️⃣ 📍 707.6 metres - 🗓️ 16 yrs - ⚡ 167 / 200 2️⃣ 📍 718 km - 🗓️ 9 yrs - ⚡ 165 / 200 3️⃣ 📍 932 km - 🗓️ 27 yrs - ⚡ 99 / 200 4️⃣ 📍 334 km - 🗓️ 4 yrs - ⚡ 185 / 200 5️⃣ 📍 103 km - 🗓️ 5 yrs - ⚡ 190 / 200 whentaken.comOn #4, I went with the Irimi plan. When it looks like the US but something is off, guess Aussie. The vegetation seemed more temperate so I went with Canberra. On #3, nothing made sense to me. It sure seemed like Europe. But it was too recent for Czechoslovakia or Hungary. And one guy was wearing flip-flops. When I'm hiding behind an armoured vehicle with a AK type rifle, don't let me wear those. |

Since you gave it away, the license plates and the road looked wrong for North America, but I guessed North America anyway. I incorrectly guessed a different former Eastern Bloc nation. I feel like those guys were not planning on hiding behind an armored vehicle with an AK. My friends and I almost got stabbed for $20 (wasn't even my $20) in Santa Monica back in Law School, and I was wearing flip-flops. Sometimes, you don't get to choose your footwear. I tried my best to deescalate that situation, though, because I'll be damned if I get shanked wearing flip-flops. Fortunately, the other group ran off, when we ducked into a smoke shop and called the police. I always wore shoes in Santa Monica after that, though. |

#WhenTaken #48 (15.04.2024) I scored 736/1000 🎉 1️⃣ 📍 735.6 metres - 🗓️ 17 yrs - ⚡ 164 / 200 2️⃣ 📍 480 km - 🗓️ 2 yrs - ⚡ 184 / 200 3️⃣ 📍 1134 km - 🗓️ 23 yrs - ⚡ 110 / 200 4️⃣ 📍 14830 km - 🗓️ 3 yrs - ⚡ 97 / 200 5️⃣ 📍 502 km - 🗓️ 4 yrs - ⚡ 181 / 200 Rough one today. #WhenTaken #48 (15.04.2024) I scored 646/1000 🎉 1️⃣ 📍 3 km - 🗓️ 31 yrs - ⚡ 111 / 200 2️⃣ 📍 711 km - 🗓️ 3 yrs - ⚡ 176 / 200 3️⃣ 📍 734 km - 🗓️ 36 yrs - ⚡ 78 / 200 4️⃣ 📍 15716 km - 🗓️ 2 yrs - ⚡ 98 / 200 5️⃣ 📍 33 km - 🗓️ 10 yrs - ⚡ 183 / 200 A year closer in guess four! Four looked wrong, but I had no idea other than it looked wrong. I was closer in the other four guesses, but I got destroyed on the years. #3 was very deceptive. I am curious how far away you wound up guessing, though.If you're talking about #3, I was thinking it was the Crimean War back in 2014 or so. So that's what I guessed. If you're talking about #4, I didn't even listen to my own advice. I wanted to say Oregon, but I went with some small town near Kansas City or Iowa. |

Yeah, that guy in the flip-flops....I guess you go to war with whatever you have. I've seen too many small nothing towns to make any sort of assumption about the lines on the road. But had I noticed, it might've triggered my go to Australia rule. |

Looking at it after my guess, it was obviously not nice enough to be the French Riviera. |

He did electrical school in San Diego and finished second in his class so he got to choose his station second. The guy who was ahead of him chose Korea, where the action was. My dad took a brand new light cruiser based out of Virginia. He talked about going to Jamaica and then sailing in the Mediterranean. I've heard about skiing in the Alps and being on the beach in Beirut many times over my life. |
